Came for the colleagues and clients, both are going or gone - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Purple Strategies

Great people. Every one seems to actually care about you. Big clients and can be very interesting work.

I don't have any cons at the moment

- Decent pay and benefits. - Impressive client roster (what's left of it). - A number of wonderful, friendly, smart people (75% of agency).

- Senior leaders are stuck in another era and while they have said they want to democratize and begin sharing responsibilities to lead a new generation of Purple leaders, their actions have never pointed to them actually wanting to do so. - Senior leaders also often speak down to other employees and are highly skeptical of newer, innovative ideas. I've heard cursing at employees, belittling them, and some talk poorly about others openly behind their backs to other team members, sometimes in group settings. - Little to no upward mobility for junior to mid-level employees. - Legacy employees from Purple's earlier days can't seem to do any wrong and are very rarely held accountable for any mistakes, poor behavior, etc. Despite issues raised against some, many remain simply because they are legacy or favorites of leadership. - Went into partnership with a private equity firm a few years ago, which has been catastrophic, and much of the staff has been either been laid off or left for other opportunities as senior leadership struggles to bring in new business projects or clients after several major client losses. - The multiple rounds of layoffs that have occurred were heartless and cruel with those laid off often completely blindsided and left with little to no feedback; severance offered for many was shockingly bad.
